Cool Re: 150mph +

the sv650 my two mate had can and k&n air filter and use to get it up to 135 to 140mph

with my sv and the mods i get 140 to 145mph out of mine

got the speed o to say 150 once but that eas a long road took forever

the most i think you get out of a sv is 130 to 145

but if you get 150 out of it or faster let me know

I doubt it, especially on a naked one..

I reckon mine possibly could, but it'd take a week to get there if it made it. Standard? Not a snowball's chance, top gear's a struggle as it is (some claim they can hit the limiter in top- tbh I'm skeptical, I know mine stopped pulling before the redline back in the day. The SV motor loses a load of power before the redline never mind the limiter, as standard.

I don't think so to, as the speedo is out by about 10%, I did 142 on helga the other day on a slight long down hill run but thats really 127. So would still have 23 to go.

Do you get to Beachy Head very often?
